Al-Maarooniyyaat Village north of Salmaa: The Republican Guard is on a roll in northeast Latakia Province. This village was just liberated last night after 80% of the Alqaeda rodents were exterminated with the rest rushing helter-skelter to Al-Rubay’ah on the Turk border. A huge cache of weapons and ammo was uncovered after the rodents left. As the vermin headed out to Al-Rubya’ah, the SAAF was called in to pepper the routes used to insure maximum casualties since all Syrian Air Force bombers today are fitted with night capabilities. The SAAF struck hard at Al-Rubay’ah and Marj Khawkha to insure the rats know well that the army is coming.

Tartiyaah: Liberated completely. Confirmed as of 2 days ago. It appears a large SAA and PDC force is now moving to Qaaraa Town.

The following locations have been confirmed liberated during the last 48 hours:

Jurun Al-Qal’ah Hills

Ruwaysat Al-Qal’ah

Sheesh Al-Qaadhi

Dhahr Al-‘Adra

Ruwaysat Al-Tunoor

Qaraaqifi Mountain

867 and 1014 Elevations

Waadi Nab’ Meeru

Ruwaysat Al-Qaamoo’ Village

Al-Mughayriyya

Hawsh Al-Mughayriyya

Ruwaysat Ibn Jaazi

Kiddeen

All reports coming in to us indicate the rodents to be in a state of complete anarchy. Terrorist chatter and communications with Turkey show a group completely incapable of adjusting to a status of a defeated enemy with no hope of restoring their now spent assets.

___________________________________________________________

DAMASCUS:

The SAA regularly strips off the upper clothing from the rodents to make sure none have been wearing explosive belts.

‘Adraa Workers Town: A small group of terrorists belonging to ‘Alloosh’s Jaysh Al-Islam tried to disturb the peace in this once-contested town. They attacked an artillery unit close to the Research School while wearing actual SAA uniforms. The soldiers inside the perimeter were surprised by the attack and withdrew all their mechanize equipment lest it fall into the hands of these criminals. It took only one hour and the SAA counterattacked. All 20 rodents were killed. None survived.

Daarayyaa: 5 rodents were killed here yesterday. They belonged to Liwaa` Shuhadaa` Al-Islam’s (yawn) Kateebat ‘Abdul-Qaadir Al-Saalih who was known as “Abu Marea”, a rodent leader killed by the SAA in Aleppo. The Syrian rodents identified on rat websites were:

Jamaal Abu Ayman (rat leader)

Khaalid Abu Khaleel

Baasim Abu Zayd

Ahmad Abu Yaassir

‘Alaa` Al-Ahmad

Only the last one is confirmed for identity. The others’ identities are pending.

__________________________________________________

IDLIB/HAMA:

Jisr Al-Shughoor: After 3 days of thorough surveillance, the SAA struck killing 9 rodents who were aboard 3 trucks traveling on the western fringe of the town. One of the dead vermin was identified as a Pakistani:

‘Ali Al-Baakistaani (PAKISTANI HERNIATED PIG INTESTINE. Id pending)

Jisr Al-Shughoor: Now on the east side. 7 rats were killed in an SAA ambush with 10 confirmed wounded. Weapons and ammo were seized. These belonged to Jaysh Al-Fath.

Al-Habeet: Al-Ittihaad Al-Islami li-Ajnaad Al-Shaam (The Islamic Union of Syria’s Soldiers, yawn) took a big hit here. This is a gang of monsters mostly from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, so, it’s a lot of fun to kill them. Yesterday, the SAA and PDC wiped out 25 of them. Here are the only Syrians:

Muhammad Khaleel

Muhammad ‘Abdul-Qaadir Al-Warraar

Ahmad Al-Baraazi

Al-Nabi Ayyoob Summit: 41 rodents dead from Nusra/Alqaeda and Ahraar Al-Shaam. I have no names as the area is still being assessed.

Al-Tamaani’ah, Ma’arrat Al-Nu’maan, Sarmada Town, Saraaqib: Scores of rodents have been killed here yesterday by the RuAF and SAAF.

ALEPPO:

Al-Mansoora: It is reported that the SAAF struck the Nusra/Alqaeda here with a vengeance. A HQ and warehouse filled with ammo were destroyed. This town is about 10 kms west of the city. I am expecting more details about the potentially record-breaking fatalities among the rodents.

Bani Zayd Quarter: In the city, the SAA invaded a nest of rats and killed all 7 of them:

‘Ayn Al-Baydha Village: Liberated 24 hours ago. Of note, the SAA has expanded remarkably in the area between ‘Aysha Village and ‘Ayn Al-Baydha and has restored control over the water pump which used to supply Aleppo City. The number of dead rats in these operations is quite impressive.

This cave stretches 15 kms under the ground between ‘Ayn Al-Baydha and ‘Aysha Villages and was found by the SAA with the help of local citizens. Inside was a mother lode of weapons and ammunition provided by the Turks including drugs like Captagon.

Yet, Americans continue to live in mortal fear of radical Islam, a fear propagated and inflamed by right wing Islamophobes. If one follows the cable news networks, it seems as if all terrorists are Muslims. It has even become axiomatic in some circles to chant: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.” Muslims and their “leftist dhimmi allies” respond feebly, mentioning Waco as the one counter example, unwittingly affirming the belief that “nearly all terrorists are Muslims.”

But perception is not reality. The data simply does not support such a hasty conclusion. On the FBI’s official website, there exists a chronological list of all terrorist attacks committed on U.S. soil from the year 1980 all the way to 2005. That list can be accessed here (scroll down all the way to the bottom).

Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil by Group, From 1980 to 2005, According to FBI DatabaseAccording to this data, there were more Jewish acts of terrorism within the United States than Islamic (7% vs 6%). These radical Jews committed acts of terrorism in the name of their religion. These were not terrorists who happened to be Jews; rather, they were extremist Jews who committed acts of terrorism based on their religious passions, just like Al-Qaeda and company.

Yet notice the disparity in media coverage between the two. It would indeed be very interesting to construct a corresponding pie chart that depicted the level of media coverage of each group. The reason that Muslim apologists and their “leftist dhimmi allies” cannot recall another non-Islamic act of terrorism other than Waco is due to the fact that the media gives menial (if any) coverage to such events. If a terrorist attack does not fit the “Islam is the perennial and existential threat of our times” narrative, it is simply not paid much attention to, which in a circuitous manner reinforces and “proves” the preconceived narrative. It is to such an extent that the average American cannot remember any Jewish or Latino terrorist; why should he when he has never even heard of the Jewish Defense League or the Ejercito Popular Boricua Macheteros? Surely what he does not know does not exist!
The Islamophobes claim that Islam is intrinsically a terrorist religion. The proof? Well, just about every terrorist attack is Islamic, they retort. Unfortunately for them, that’s not quite true. More like six percent. Using their defunct logic, these right wingers ought now to conclude that nearly all acts of terrorism are committed by Latinos (or Jews). Let them dare say it…they couldn’t; it would be political and social suicide to say such a thing. Most Americans would shut down such talk as bigoted; yet, similar statements continue to be said of Islam, without any repercussions.

The Islamophobes live in a fantasy world where everyone is supposedly too “politically correct” to criticize Islam and Muslims. Yet, the reality is the exact opposite: you can get away with saying anything against the crescent. Can you imagine the reaction if I said that Latinos should be profiled because after all they are the ones who commit the most terrorism in the country? (For the record: I don’t believe in such profiling, because I am–unlike the right wing nutters–a believer in American ideals.)

The moral of the story is that Americans ought to calm down when it comes to Islamic terrorism. Right wingers always live in mortal fear–or rather, they try to make you feel that way. In fact, Pamela Geller (the queen of internet Islamophobia) literally said her mission was to “scare the bejeezus outta ya.” Don’t be fooled, and don’t be a wuss. You don’t live in constant fear of radicalized Latinos (unless you’re Lou Dobbs), even though they commit seven times more acts of terrorism than Muslims in America. Why then are you wetting yourself over Islamic radicals? In the words of Cenk Uygur: you’re at a ten when you need to be at a four. Nobody is saying that Islamic terrorism is not a matter of concern, but it’s grossly exaggerated.River toSeaUprooted Palestinian

A suicide bomberthought to be from Syria killed at least 10 people, many of them German tourists, in Istanbul's historic heart on Tuesday, an attack senior security officials said was probably planned by Islamic State.

President Tayyip Erdogan condemned the bombing in Sultanahmet square, near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, major tourist sites in the center of one of the world's most visited cities. He said a Syrian was thought responsible and that the blast would only harden Turkey's resolve in fighting terrorism.

Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said the bomber had been identified from body parts at the scene, and was a Syrian national born in 1988 whose links were being investigated.

Sources in Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's office said most of those killed were Germans and he had spoken by phone with Chancellor Angela Merkel to express condolences. Merkel earlier said she was very worried Germans might be among the victims.

Inside the Blue Mosque

I'm predicting a PKK suicide bomber (witting or unwitting) And that includes ISIS brand also -Because the KurdIShIS symbiosis has always been apparent. Haven't read that anywhere but it seems the most plausible evil do'er based on everything, all acquired information via my own reading and writings. The targeting of German tourists is most likely intentional. If one wants to use terror to affect change in the EU, one hits the Germans, to put pressure on the German leadership. This is where we tie back to the PKK, again. The PKK and it's supporters have raised hell in Germany. Demanding Germany revere the PKK as opposed to reviling them.

* 1st Secretary General of NATO, describing the purpose of NATO: -While Secretary General, Ismay is also credited as having been the first person to say that the purpose of the alliance was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down," a saying that has since become a common way to quickly describe the alliance.

The US aka head of NATO has been targeting German interests in a number of ways: The whole VW Scandal, so called sure looks to be economic warfare- As is mentioned in the comment section below alongside the Federal Reserve's investigation of Deutsche Bank

Independent Bishop Pat Buckley had a narrow escape inIstanbul on Tuesday morning when he and the small group he was with posed for photographs at theEgyptian obelisk near the city’s Blue Mosque where less than 10 minutes later a suicide bomber killed at least 10 people.

Speaking to The Irish Times, Bishop Buckley who is based at Larne Co Antrim said “we missed it by seven to 10 minutes”. They were in the Blue Mosque when they heard the bomb detonate outside.

I cannot find which church this man is affiliated with at Lairne Co Antrim. Strange choice of words.Why not Bishop Buckley who is based IN Larne Co Antrim? Rather then "AT" Larne Co AntrimAnd Lairne Co Antrim is Northern Ireland.All of Northern Ireland. So where does this"bishop" base himself?

Independent Bishop Buckley had been taking photos in Sultanahmet Square shortly before the blast today and had moved on into the famous Blue Mosque.Speaking to the BBC, Bishop Buckley said: “I have lived in Northern Ireland since the 70s, and I have heard explosions, and this was incredibly loud. I saw dust through the doorway of the mosque and I could smell the explosives.”He added: “I am slightly worried because there is talk here that they are expecting further trouble and we have been warned to avoid crowds.”

Taking into consideration this 'bishop' is delivering the perception management news to the BBC tells me, we are definitely looking at a spook. And getting a proscribed fiction.

It’s considered one of the globe’s largest NGOs, yet the odds are most Americans have never heard of it. Avaaz, (whose name means “voice” in many languages), is a massive “online activist organization” that claims to promote freedom and democracy all across the world in a variety of different means and for a variety of different causes.

According to its own website, since its creation in 2007, Avaaz’s mission is to “organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want.”

It also states,

Avaaz empowers millions of people from all walks of life to take action on pressing global, regional and national issues, from corruption and poverty to conflict and climate change. Our model of internet organising allows thousands of individual efforts, however small, to be rapidly combined into a powerful collective force. (Read about results on the Highlights page.)

The Avaaz community campaigns in 15 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents and thousands of volunteers. We take action — signing petitions, funding media campaigns and direct actions, emailing, calling and lobbying governments, and organizing “offline” protests and events — to ensure that the views and values of the world’s people inform the decisions that affect us all.

While Avaaz’s stated goals might sound laudable to many Americans, anyone who has observed the number of “people power” revolutions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East might recognize the language from the Avaaz website as indicative of the color revolution apparatus that has helped inflame the world over the last 5-7 years.

Avaaz is, indeed, part of the color revolution apparatus, having apparently received funds from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation to start up in 2007. Avaaz was founded by Res Publica and Moveon.org, both Soros-funded organizations that attempt to co-opt the American left into supporting ideas and campaigns closely associated with the communitarian foundation oligarchs.

The Avaaz Players

In addition, a number of Avaaz founders and board members have close connections to Soros’ Open Society Foundations such as Eli Pariser (both a Board Member of OSF and a member of the Open Society US programs as well as Moveon.org) and Pedro Abramovay (the Regional Director For Latin America and the Caribbean at OSF, the Director of Latin America Programs at OSF and a campaign director of Avaaz).

As one might suspect, despite its constant rhetoric regarding “human rights,” “freedom,” and “democracy,” Avaaz has openly supported violence, war, and imperialism. In 2011, Avaaz raised its voice as loudly as it could with demands that the EU, NATO, UN, and all other parties “stop the violent crackdown” on civilians in Libya. Translated: Avaaz called on the EU, NATO, UN, and all other parties to come to the rescue of jihadists that had been unleashed against the government and the people of Libya in order to overthrow Ghaddafi for the benefit of the NATO powers.

Avaaz – Propaganda Against Syria

Avaaz soon after turned its sights on Syria, the next country in line to suffer under NATO’s attempt to destroy an uncooperative national government. As a sampling of the drivel Avaaz regularly released regarding Syria, Avaaz posted on its website the following transparent propaganda in an attempt to drum up support for a No Fly Zone in Syria:

It’s inspiring — over 1 million people from across the world have joined the call to protect Syrian civilians. And an Avaaz-commissioned poll shows a majority of Americans supporting a targeted No Fly Zone to save lives. Right now, the US Congress and the UN are talking about how to protect Syrian civilians — let’s keep the pressure on for life-saving action!

The Syrian air force just dropped chlorine gas bombs on children. Their little bodies gasped for air on hospital stretchers as medics held back tears, and watched as they suffocated to death.

But today there is a chance to stop these barrel bomb murders with a targeted No Fly Zone.

The US, Turkey, UK, France and others are right now seriously considering a safe zone in Northern Syria. Advisers close to President Obama support it, but he is worried he won’t have public support. That’s where we come in.

Let’s tell him we don’t want a world that just watches as a dictator drops chemical weapons on families in the night. We want action.

One humanitarian worker said ‘I wish the world could see what I have seen with my eyes. It breaks your heart forever.’ Let’s show that the world cares — sign to support a life-saving No Fly Zone.

Obviously, the purpose of the post was to drum up support for a “No-Fly Zone” in Syria, tantamount to a direct military invasion of the country on the model of that which destroyed Libya and returned the country to the years shortly prior to the Stone Age.

We should make no bones about it. It first entails killing a lot of people and destroying the Syrian air defenses and those people who are manning those systems. And then it entails destroying the Syrian air force, preferably on the ground, in the air if necessary. This is a violent combat action that results in lots of casualties and increased risk to our own personnel.

I know it sounds stark, but what I always tell people when they talk to me about a no-fly zone is . . . it’s basically to start a war with that country because you are going to have to go in and kinetically take out their air defense capability

Also obvious was the glaringly false claim that Assad’s troops had dropped chemical weapons on Syrian civilians. The Syrian military has never been implicated in using chemical weapons against the Syrian people except in the pages of the Western mainstream press and the minds of a gullible public. Every use of chemical weapons has been, at some point, traced back to the Western-backed terrorists fighting against the Syrian government.

Avaaz has also pushed for relocating Syrian refugees and “Syrian refugees” to England as a result of “chlorine bombs” “falling from the sky” “in Syria. Avaaz thus used non-existent “chlorine bombs falling from the sky” to justify relocating “refugees” from a war zone that it is partly responsible for creating itself.

Avaaz has posted dubious “calls for help” from “Syrians” such as this one, entitled “Cry For Help In Syria,” in Homs. Of course, while most Syrians are horrified at the state of war in which they find themselves as a result of the Western destabilization, the overwhelming majority of Syrians support their government and despise the Western-backed savages raping and beheading their way across the country. If one is interested in reading or listening to the opinion of a real Syrian, feel free to consultthe videos and articles of Afraa Dagher, a true victim of the so-called “civil war” that would be more aptly named an invasion.

Vanessa Beeley describes typical Avaaz treachery in her article, “The Propaganda War Against Syria Led By Avaaz And The White Helmets.” Beeley is referring to the Avaaz propaganda that emerged in the wake of the Russian attacks against ISIS and other related terrorists in Syria. Avaaz, of course, followed the State Department and NATO line that Russia was bombing the as-yet-undiscovered “moderate rebels.” She writes,

Now let’s examine the unsavoury marketing aspect of the propaganda campaign being waged by a frustrated and increasingly infuriated US alliance. Of course the usual triad has leapt into action. HRW, Avaaz and the White Helmets. Avaaz has produced one of its most poisonous and misleading petitions to date. The inevitable eyewitness statements claim that Russia targeted civilian areas utterly free of ISIS operatives. These statements are already rendered questionable by the evidence I have submitted above.

When we watch the videos, particularly the longer Liveleak version, it is hard to detect the women and children that are being described. The majority of protagonists appear to be male and of fighting age. There is no evidence of “civilian” life among the deserted buildings, the only movement is of males, some on foot, some on scooters and presumably some taking the time to film events even as the bombs are falling. Not the actions of terrified, innocent civilians.

There is one other video that does show about 2 seconds of a young boy crying and obviously injured. However this video must be questioned as to its authenticity as the claims are that the initial shot of planes overhead is not even of Russian planes. The quality of the video is poor and apart from the footage of the one child, again demonstrates that the majority of people involved are men of fighting age in a deserted built up area to the north of Homs.

In this disgusting display of blatant propaganda calling for the long sought after no fly zone, Emma Ruby-Sachs, deputy director of Avaaz makes the extraordinary statement “Russia says it’s bombing ISIS, but eyewitnesses say their brutal attacks targeted areas way outside of ISIS control. This will only sow instability and radicalisation and should be an urgent wake-up call to the US and its allies to enforce a targeted no-fly zone to save lives, counter ISIS and alleviate the refugee crisis. Syrians civilians need protection now, not further attacks from Russian bombs.”

Speaking to one Damascus resident this morning, I asked for their opinion on this statement. His reply was simple, “I am just relieved that the Russian Air Force is in action”. The hypocrisy of this statement from Ruby-Sachs perfectly mirrors the hypocrisy of Congress, Obama’s Teflon speech at the UNGA, Pentagon’s barefaced obscurantism over the US role in creating exactly this instability and radicalisation in Syria and bringing misery, terror and bloodshed to the people of Syria with the sole aim of securing their interests in the region [and those of their staunchest partner in crimes against Humanity, Israel]

If we wish to speak of civilian casualties perhaps we should turn the spotlight on the pre- existing Coalition bombing campaign. The civilian death rates from these strikes is rarely discussed and often concealed by the Pentagon and US/European associated analysts like the SOHR. Where for example was the Avaaz petition calling for a No Fly Zone when the coalition air strikes resulted in a multitude of non-combatant deaths including children? This report from Airwars reveals the disturbing numbers:

Syria has also seen a number of troubling mass casualty events attributed to Coalition actions. On the first night of bombing on September 23rd 2014, US aircraft killed as many as 15 civilians in the village of Kafar Daryan. On December 28th at least 58 civilians reportedly died when the Coalition struck a temporary Daesh prison at al Bab (see report). And on April 30th 2015, 64 civilians died in a likely Coalition airstrike at Ber Mahli. In these three incidents alone, 106 non-combatant victims have so far been publicly named – 38 of them children. It remains unclear whether any of these events have been investigated by the Coalition.

Syria’s civilians need a spanner putting in the spokes of this crushing propaganda vehicle that rides roughshod over their genuine needs with devastating consequences. Those needs are simple: stop lying, stop fabricating and stop creating, funding, arming and incubating the terrorist cancer in Syria.

Yet Avaaz is not merely involved in the propaganda side of the war on national sovereignty and the people living in the countries resisting Anglo-American domination, it is and has been involved directly on the ground, particularly in Syria, in attempts to facilitate the so-called “Arab Spring” color revolution and other forms of “Syrian activism” (read: terrorism funded and supported by the West, the GCC, NATO, and Israel).

Avaaz Role In The Syrian Destabilization

Avaaz was instrumental in providing not only the online propaganda supporting terrorists and color revolution participants in Syria and back home in the West, but it was also helpful in providing material support such as technology, propaganda and tech training, and medical supplies to the terrorists on the ground.

Syria has certainly been risky. The group was quicker on the draw in responding to the first signs of the protest movement than most aid organisations, even than most media outlets that pride themselves in getting speedily to difficult places.

To begin with, Avaaz sent a team of staff organisers to Lebanon after spotting the first signs of a nascent protest movement in Syria. Contact was then made with Syrian activists inside the country, and go-betweens recruited, notably Wissam Tarif, a highly respected Syrian pro-democracy leader who is widely consulted by journalists and senior western diplomats.

From there its involvement in the Syrian Arab spring drew it steadily further and further into the conflict. First off Avaaz sent in hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of communications equipment – satellite phones and internet connections known as BGANs – that gave the protesters a link to the outside world.

As with earlier Arab spring engagements in Tunisia and Libya, they realised that equipment alone was not enough: the protesters needed to know how to use it if they were to be effective. So Avaaz sent in trainers who could give grounding in how to use the smattphones as well as basic training in citizen journalism.

“Verification was a key element,” says Patel. “We could get stuff out, but the media didn’t know what they were looking at, or couldn’t be sure where it had come from. So we began playing the middle man, verifying information. That was in some ways the greatest value we brought to maintaining the oxygen of international attention on these protest movements.”

Reports coming from Avaaz-trained citizen journalists in Homs and other key conflict zones, channelled through the Avaaz communications hub outside the country, has been a major source of information on the uprising and the regime’s bloody response, used by news outlets around the world.

Getting in the equipment involved opening up smuggling routes across the Syrian border into hotbeds such as Homs and its most badly bombed neighbourhood, Baba Amr, which led Avaaz seemlessly into the next phase of its engagement. With the smuggling routes open, it could help get $2m of blood bags, tetanus shots, respiratory machines and other medical supplies into the country, bringing relief to communities that were desperate for help and that more establishment institutions like the ICRC had failed to reach.

It has also smuggled 34 international journalists into the trouble zones. Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times journalist, entered using another conduit, but the French photographer Remi Ochlik who died with her as a result of Syrian government shelling was helped in by Avaaz.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, Avaaz is just one more tentacle of the color revolution octopus partially funded by George Soros, the U.S. State Department, and the CIA as well as the budgets of other NATO countries both above and below publicly available knowledge. Its worldwide Internet organization is nothing more than a hub for dupes and witless participants who are disenchanted with the current system for whatever reason. The human mass is then used as a battering ram against the target government, ushering in a system that is almost always worse than the one the movement helped overthrow.

There is no shortage of color revolution NGOs in Syria or anywhere else in the world. To compile a list of such organizations currently existing would require a full-time commitment even as new groups are formed all the time. It is not necessarily the individual organization itself that must be exposed but the methods by which color revolutions and mass movements are created, facilitated, and accomplished that must be understood.

Only by understanding the nature of the color revolution and destabilization can such tragedies be avoided in the future.
